Kelston Girls’ College in West Auckland had to go into lockdown this afternoon after a member of the public entered the school grounds and broke a window. This incident happened following a fight involving a student the person knew.
The school initiated the lockdown shortly after 3 PM. In a message posted online, the school asked parents and the community not to come to the school or call, as this could disrupt the handling of the situation and potentially put everyone’s safety at risk.
